It seems from board chatter that the old passenger/bug route got nerfed in the new version. I have a question though, what exactly got changed to nerf it?

........Or close the wall up with our English dead...........................Then imitate the action of the tiger;.................

........As modest stillness and humility:........................................Disguise fair nature with hard-favour'd rage!....

This is a bit of a spoiler for the newcomer's, don't you think? Maybe edit out some of the obvious parts?
From what I've read, nothing's been changed yet. I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure I thought Igiss said he was just looking at it. I don't think anything is certain, yet.
And even if it was, there will be another good couple of trade runs to replace it.
And with smuggling actually becoming worth the risk of being caught, aren't you the least bit excited to try that out? I am! I mean... er... I always follow the law... Ahem.
I hope this run isnt getting nerfed as I dont see what the problem with it is... Its not the easiest run in the world, albeit a little shorter than some others.

ON MY WAY OUT OF RETIREMENT
It runs through corsair space... how many corsair factions are there? I think thats tough enough to pass muster. Then add to that the armour eating amazingness and BLAMO you got noob kiler.
Seems like a perfect run to me. And it gives you less than Tau-31 on a bad day.
Dab was crunching some numbers on skype. There are no more 50+ mil an hour runs with less then 7 jumps. With the exception of the Tau-31 oversight they are all gone. It is now necessary to fly from one end of Sirius to the other when trading. Chances are you will need to pass through the space of at least 2 houses to make a profit.
The good news is that this make mining worth our time. The bad news is that piracy is now harder to avoid and trade route scouting will be more difficult.
so I know for a fact that the following is nerfed.....
The Corfu Run, The Stokes Gauntlet and The Shikoku Pass

(Really, I speak terrible English, so please, tell me if I make mistakes. I'd like to improve it a bit )
I like the idea of nerfing trade runs (and replacing with new ones) every patch if for no other reason than to make the economy feel a little more dynamic. Anything to give traders a change of scenery is mucho welcome.
